Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow. There are seven persons namely J, K, L, M, P, R, and S. They stay in a building having 7 floors. The lowermost floor is numbered as 1 whereas the topmost floor is numbered as 7, but not necessarily in the same order. They all play different games namely cricket, tennis, badminton, rugby, hockey, football, and polo but not necessarily in the same order. The number of persons staying above and below K is equal. One person stays between the one who plays football and K. R stays immediately above the one who plays football. Only two persons stay between the one who plays cricket and R. Only one person stays between the one who plays rugby and the one who plays cricket. R does not stay on the topmost floor. J stays on an odd-numbered floor above the floor of the one who plays cricket. There are more than two floors between M, who plays hockey and the one who plays tennis. S stays just above L. The one who plays hockey stays somewhere below the one who plays tennis. The one who plays Polo stays below the one who plays tennis. J plays badminton. The following options are similar in some way or the other, select the one that does not belong to the group?
